G Carter George - Owen Sound Attack, OHL (2024, 57th, LA)

[Lt Dan]

Cool that he was a Kings fan growing up, played minor hockey with the Thunder Bay Kings, and now drafted by the Los Angeles Kings.

We need to put him on the boat next, so he can be the King of the world!

I can already see some sick mask designs with Kings, King George, Los Angeles, and even Thunder Bay incorporated.

Nice to see him get a goalie goal on Friday. Decent D+1 on a bad Owen Sound team

He's been an absolute rock and has only had a couple of bad games all season - impressive given the number of shots, and the quality of chances, the Attack give up on a nightly basis. More of the same as last year.

Despite the numbers I'd say a lot of OHL followers would consider him the best goalie in the league this season, and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up finishing the World Juniors this year as Canada's starter, if he doesn't outright start the tournament in net.

The big worry for him is going to be workload, as he burnt out having to play every game and make 40+ saves a night last season and while Koprowski should start more than last year's backup, George is still going to be close to 50 starts.
